Due to a fault with the signalling system between Machynlleth (MCN) and Pwllheli (PWL):
Services may be cancelled in both directions between Machynlleth (MCN) and Pwllheli (PWL).
We expect the incident to last until 14:00 and disruption to services is expected until 17:00.
We have been made aware of a signalling problem between Machynlleth and Pwllheli.
As a result, some train services will not be able to run through the area until the signalling system is working normally.

We will publish more information here, once we have received an update from the infrastructure technicians.
